A Divorce After My Rebirth by Gentle Rain in June

Chapter 242 Completely Finished

Christina and Wanda turned stiffly to see Cedric standing chillingly in the hallway.

Behind him, in addition to Lucas, was also… the police?!

Christina and Wanda exchanged a look.

Fear filled Christina’s eyes, and her mind was completely in turmoil.

“Ced, what’s this? Christina nervously asked

For the past two days, she had imagined countless times what it would be like when she and Cedric

met again.

Perhaps there would be intense interrogations, disappointed confrontations, and his cold indifference.

However, she never expected this!

She never thought that when they met again, he would directly bring the police with him!

What pained her even more at this moment was Cedric’s cold indifference. He looked at her with icy

eyes devoid of warmth. It was as if their shared childhood was just her own dream, and he… didn’t

care at

any

all.

A police officer had approached her.

He politely said, “Ms. Johnson, we received Mr. Johnson’s report stating that you’re related to the

recent investigation of Ms. Morgan’s kidnapping. Please come with us. We have some questions about

the

relevant details.”

“No, it wasn’t me,” Christina said as she trembled.

Her face was pale at this moment, and she looked towards Cedric,

At the moment their eyes met, all she saw was coldness.

“Ced, how can you not believe me? 1-1 wouldn’t hurt Bella…”

“How could I harm someone?”

Every word from Christing was filled with pain.

Wanda realized the situation at this moment, and she looked anxiously at Cedric,

“Master Cedric, you know what kind of person Miss is, right? She wouldn’t harm anyone!”

He actually reported this to the police!

He didn’t even give Christina a chance to explain. He was treating Christina just like he treated Natalie

back then.

In fact, he was even harsher than with Natalie!

When dealing with Natalie, he gave her chances again and again, grinding her down and offering her

opportunities.

But those so–called opportunities were ultimately disrupted by Christina and Isabella, making him

unable to distinguish truth from falsehood..

In the end, he was utterly disappointed in Natalie.

But now, he was being so ruthless!

He didn’t even want to give Christina a chance to explain. He didn’t want to negotiate with her and just

brought the police to her door.

“Ms. Johnson, please come with us.”

The police officer was impatient with how Christina was trying to delay them. His tone became even

more serious and cold.

Christina’s gaze remained on Cedric,

Her

eyes were filled with tears and grievance.

“Ced…” She called softly, her tone carrying endless pain and resentment.

Whenever Cedric saw her in such a state in the past, he would surely soften.

At that time, regardless of what happened between her and Natalie, he would unconditionally stand by

her side.

However, now…

He remained cold, without a hirit of emotion or warmth.

“Ms. Johnson.”

“Master Cedric!” Wanda hurriedly approached and threw herself at Cedric’s feet. Tears streamed down

her face as she said, “Please believe Miss! She’s not that cruel.”

“And who are you?” Cedric’s icy voice made everyone shiver.

Summoning all her courage, Wanda met Cedric’s eyes. But his gaze was sharp, as if he could see

through

everything.

All the hidden secrets from the past were now laid bare in his eyes.

“I didn’t know you had such a close relationship with her that you would kneel for her, Wandal”

Cedric’s words left Wanda even paler, and a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes.

“Master Cedric…”

Wanda’s voice shook uncontrollably when she spoke, especially under Cedric’s penetrating gaze.

Christina cried, “Ced, how can you not believe me?!”

Especially when Cedric mentioned Wanda kneeling for her, her heart couldn’t help but skip a beat for

some reason.

Through tear–filled eyes, she looked at Cedric, desperately hoping he would trust her unconditionally

as

he used to.

No matter what mistakes she made, he would always accept her without conditions.

But now…

Cedric coldly stated, “The righteous need not fear investigation. Why waste time here? If you’re

innocent,

why not cooperate with the investigation?”

Investigation?!

Christina never knew how heavy the word could be.

All traces of their involvement had been wiped clean after everything had been settled. If not for that

card, nothing would have been exposed!

Despite their previous confidence, the moment they were to be ‘investigated, uncertainty began to

creep

into Christina’s heart.

Natalie hadn’t done those things, and yet she ended up burned inside the detention center.

Moreover, Christina had done those things! Could she really clear herself?!

“Ms. Johnson!” The police officer’s voice grew stern.

Rebecca rushed back and saw what was happening. At the same time, Elizabeth also arrived from the

annex building

Seeing the police involved, they were both shocked.

“Cedric,” Rebecca was sweating profusely as she came to Cedric’s side. “How can you treat Tina like

this?

Seeing the situation, Elizabeth also hurriedly approached Cedric. “What’s going on here? Family

matters

should be resolved behind closed doors. Why involve the police?”

Elizabeth was a traditional woman who disliked airing family disputes. With all the recent commotion in

the Johnson family, she didn’t want any more scandals.

Now, even the police were involved!

Putting aside whether Elizabeth and the family really cared about Christina, she was still the Johnson

family’s adopted daughter. They had no other daughters, and Christina still had her uses.

If Christina were to be taken away by the police today, it would become the joke of the entire Verde

City.

Christina’s life would also be considered ruined!

However, in Cedric’s eyes, Rebecca and Elizabeth’s attitude had completely turned into their defense

of

Christina.

A bitter and sorrowful smile played on Cedric’s lips.

“Indeed, as she said, you never treated her as family!”

Rebecca and Elizabeth’s expressions changed at Cedric’s words. They naturally knew he was referring

to

Natalie.

They had never truly accepted Natalie and had even tormented and abused her.

But now that she was dead, they wouldn’t want to lose Christina because of a deceased person.

“Ced!”

“Mom, Grandma, I’m afraid I can’t be a good girl and stay by your side anymore.”

Every word Christina spoke was filled with grief.

Rebecca’s heart ached.

Elizabeth’s face turned cold. “Cedl”

“Inspector, I’ll leave the rest to you,” Cedric declared.

He ignored everyone and left.

Chaos erupted in the Johnson family at this moment.
